ROCKVILLE, Md., March 31, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----John Lawson Cullison, Jr., an artist known for his work in the genre of visionary realism or "new age art," lost his ability to paint due to the effects of arthritis. This incurable condition is due to the degeneration in cartilage tissue and symptoms include: pain, tenderness in the joints, stiffness, loss of flexibility, bone spurs and severe swelling. Pain management and joint replacement surgery are the typical means to treating this condition. Cullison was taking prescription pain medication for over 15 years when he finally decided to seek treatment that was unavailable in the United States.
